Subject: perl: pod2man generates files with latin1 characters
Package: perl
Version: 5.8.7-4
Severity: normal

When manifying man pages (i.e. when building a Perl module), pod2man
creates files that contain latin1 (or other not-strictly-ASCII
characters).
This causes man not to print those characters, and causes lintian to
complain manpage-has-errors-from-man (specifically, warning: can't
find numbered character ###, where ### is the character number).

Refer to #285540 for further information.
